Ah, shame. Since `auto_save` specifically mentions only saving on the server, I assumed it might be possible to make it work the same way here - returning time to the next auto-save for the server. Anyway, thanks for a quick response!

We have this debug setting available:

06-30-2026, 13-44-54.png



Turning it on displays time remaining to next auto-save in top-right corner:

06-30-2026, 13-44-43.png



It would be nice if we could read that value in the API. I've checked and there are two auto-save related members available ...

On stable version around 2.40 or so reducing all evolution factors to "1" didn't disable achievements - evolution was active, just at snail pace.
So turning off evolution disables it, but reducing it to minimum doesn't.
Not sure if its changed on this experimental version.


Alright, checked it ...

I guess reducing or disabling evolution also should disable some achievements for completeness sake.


It does. At least when I totally disabled it, the achievements were marked as disabled. I haven't checked if it does that for lower values, but I assume it does that for all "easier" settings of ...

If the new achievement requirements are here to stay, they should be better marked. "No enemies" and "Peaceful mode" have a note in the tooltip: "Enabling this will disable some achievements", but there is no note like that for the new setting checks.

I started a new game with my last game's ...

Amazing, thank you!

[*] It would be nice, if you can add some way of mass removing for blueprints (like applying a destruction planner), so you don't have to click on every part that should be removed (or place it somewhere in an robot-empty but visible area, remove the parts, and copy it back).
[*] It would be nice ...

Thanks for the report. I can't reproduce these issues, do they still occur?


Don't know about the space platform ones, but they still happen for trains. And now it doesn't matter if you open a train by clicking it in the world or in the remote view. This is a tiny save I've made to reproduce it ...

Looks like this has been added in 2.0.33:

Added LuaEntityPrototype::get_pumping_speed. LuaEntityPrototype::pumping_speed is deprecated and should not be used.

Can't you just remove your item from the cargo pod? Though I don't see the define, I assume the pod has an accessible inventory since it sounds like you are checking it.


Hmm, I didn't think of that. If I could remove the satellite from the cargo pod in the `ascending` event after I've used it ...

TLDR: Add the cargo pod launch target to the `on_cargo_pod_finished_ascending`, storing a `LuaSurface` or at least the surface ID for standard launches and `nil` for launching to orbit.

Currently the `on_cargo_pod_finished_ascending` lets us read whether the cargo pod was launched by a rocket silo ...

The only "advantage" is that you have a sink for quality holmium ore. Other than getting rid of quality ore, it doesn't serve any special purpose or give you anything extra.

I'm going to put this into won't-fix and say that by pressing the technology GUI button you are actively choosing to throw out any pending changes you have in the opened GUI. If you don't want that, simply don't do that.

Maybe another developer disagrees and wants to add a "you open the other GUI ...

Exactly. So... Um, I hate to ask, but is there a location where I can simply look up this information? I'm feeling slightly dumb constantly asking at the end of my posts.
No need to feel dumb, the way BBCode works does sometimes feel like it's able to break when you don't expect it. Other than ...

Yeah, I agree. I mentioned the focus issue while reporting the discard changes bypass in this topic: 119518. Those two issues may be minor, but they are impacting QoL of the display panel quite significantly.

P.S. Anyone know of a way to add a link to a "word" instead of simply forming a "hyperlink"? (i.e. clicking on a word redirects, instead of simply making a fully typed URL clickable?) I know it can be done in other forums, but I'm new to - or simply unfamiliar with - this one. Thank you.

So, you probably don't know how the player radar range works (I don't know why anyone except someone looking at the code would). Every 32 ticks a 2 chunk radius around the player is updated (chunk you're on + 2 in all directions). All changes done to the chunks for the next 32 ticks will not be ...

Awesome, thank you!
